Jesus, and his Christianity business has been around about 2000 years.
Allah has been around about 1500 years. they're both pretty young when it comes to discussing worldwide religion.
but, let's step back a half step or more. what about the so-called Old Religions? what happened to them? did they get incorporated into one or more of the "new" religions?
and now that we have established data points, old, new, future, what is on the horizon? does anyone know for sure?
but i digress about the future, i want to revisit the past, as in the Age of the Old Religions. is YHWH a carrier of one of the old religions? anyone know for sure?

Jesus has been around a whole lot longer than that. After all, He's God. The Creator. But I've seen the futility of discussing these things here. Unfortunately your euphemism "business" referring to Christianity is, alas, only too true.

yep. some folks likes to lump spirituality and religion together for discussion. others like to bifurcate the two.
The Old Religion...what did it contribute to one or another of the New Religions? can we talk about that without throwing soft-backed hymnbooks across the room at each other?

Well, it contributed Easter which is a celebration of the fertility goddess Ishtar, which is why you have rabbits and eggs.
All of which have no place in Passover or the celebration of the resurrection of Christ.

i like ol Bob, and the rest of the crew. the Rastafarians worshipping Haile Selasse is a pretty interesting bunch. they say they just want freedom. who can argue with that?

bump to the top. we can talk about the Old and the New without throwing soft-backed hymnbooks back and forth across the room, can't we?
what about a sexy female who can't bear a child, can't get an education, and can't hold a job? if they can raise a child correctly, that will be enough, won't it? that is to say, everone has a role to play, correct?

Catholisism - the one true church! End of discussion. Until you remember the pope saying we should worship the church ( which is the believers in Christ) and Christ saying we should worship only Him. Many will come saying they are Him (there will be many false prophets) but to exist in His presence requires us to have left the flesh, for it will not be present in His presence, which is why I can not call the pastor my Father. My Father is in Heaven. He preparest a place for me. (These are the words He put in my ear) Amen

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

I have always found that the older the religion the more interesting to me.
It doesn�t get any older than the �Dreamtime�.

once upon a time i went on a Walk About, and proceeded to become totally lost. as was the purpose, no?
the aborigines have a message to share, no doubt.
the Old Religions should be all inclusive, right?

I'm right, you're wrong. End of discussion.

Go clear back to Moloch, Aphrodite (et alii), and the golden calf if you want to.
Not me.
I don't think that they had any hymn books, anyway.
This is as close to Aphrodite as I ever wanna get �
There was once an old sculptor named Phydias, Whose theory of art was invidious. He carved Aphrodite Without any nightie, Which startled the truly fastidious.
"Good enough" isn't.

The Dreamtime is a much older story of Genisis.
Extraordinarily older. 65,000 years old or more.
